NORTH-WESTERN  COLLEGE 

NAPERVILLE,  ILL. 


A Co-educational  School  under 
Christian  Auspices 


CARNEGIE  LIBRARY 

WHERE  SHALL  I ATTEND  COLLEGE? 

^ I AHIS  question  comes  to  every  earnest 
High  School  student.  There  is  no 
need  of  emphasizing  the  advantages  of  a col- 
lege training.  These  are  admitted  on  all 
sides.  But  where  shall  I attend? 

Let  us  help  you  decide  this  question. 

COME  TO  NORTH-WESTERN  COLLEGE, 

1 . BECAUSE  the  College  is  a small 
college  not  a large  university. 

You  will  not  be  lost  in  a large  multitude. 
Classes  are  kept  small  purposely. 

You  will  come  into  personal  touch  with 
your  instructors. 

You  will  have  your  full  share  in  all  college 
activities. 


G0LDSP0HN  SCIENCE  HALL 


2.  BECAUSE  all  the  departments  are 
in  charge  of  competent  Instructors  of  un- 
sullied Christian  character. 

Instruction  is  not  entrusted  to  immature  graduates, 
who  act  as  understudies  to  some  investigator,  whose 
literary  products  have  made  for  him  a name. 

Our  instructors  are  men  and  women,  who  after 
thorough  preparation  make  teaching  their  sole  life- 
profession. 

The  instruction  is  adapted  to  the  individual  needs 
of  the  student. 

3.  BECAUSE  of  the  democratic  col- 
lege spirit  prevailing.  Our  students  are  all 
on  the  same  social  footing. 

We  tolerate  no  fraternities  to  vitiate  all  spheres  of 
college  activities  with  aristocratic  tendencies. 

All  our  honor  men  win  recognition  because  of 
merit  only,  not  because  of  fraternity  affiliation  or 
social  standing. 


PHYSICAL  LABORATORY— SCIENCE  HALL 

4.  BECAUSE  the  College  offers  ample 
facilities  for  all  the  courses  offered.  We 
have  at  North-Western 

A.  — MAIN  HALL,  with  offices  for  officers  of 
administration,  chapel,  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  Y.  W.  C. 
A.  rooms,  Y.  M.  C.  A.  reading  room,  twelve  reci- 
tation rooms,  seven  music  rooms,  three  rooms  for  the 
commercial  department,  museum  and  herbarium,  art 
studio,  four  literary  society  halls,  College  Chronicle 
office  and  bindery,  all  fully  equipped  in  a building 
practically  fire- pi  oof. 

B.  — GOLDSPOHN  SCIENCE  HALL,  re- 
cently erected  through  the  liberality  of  Dr.  A.  Gold- 
spohn,  of  Chicago,  modern  in  all  its  appointments, 
adequate  in  all  its  equipments  with  four  large  lecture 
rooms,  four  commodious  student*  laboratories,  four 
private  laboratories,  four  store-rooms,  three  dark- 
rooms, weighing  rooms,  &c. 


CHEMICAL  LABORATORY— SCIENCE  HALL 

C.  -CARNEGIE  LIBRARY,  with  its  carefully 
selected  volumes  for  collateral  reading  and  original 
research  in  all  courses,  two  large  reference  and  read- 
ing rooms,  fully  supplied  with  scientific,  economic  and 
literary  and  other  departmental  journals.  Students 
likewise  have  free  access  to  the  Chicago  Free  Library, 
one  of  the  largest  in  the  country. 

D.  — NICHOLS  HALL.  The  gymnasium  is 
fitted  out  with  standard  gymnasium  apparatus,  shower 
baths,  lockers,  etc.  Our  basket-ball  floor  is  admittedly 
unsurpassed  by  any  floor  in  or  about  Chicago. 

E. —A  CENTRAL  HEATING  PLANT,  from 

which  all  the  buildings  are  heated.  The  capacity  of 
the  plant  is  ample  for  twice  the  number  of  buildings 
heated. 


NICHOL’S  HALL -THE  GYMNASIUM 


5.  BECAUSE  of  the  high  standard  of 
scholarship  maintained. 

The  entrance  requirements  are  as  high  as 
those  of  the  best  colleges  and  universities. 

The  requirements  for  graduation  are  equally  rig- 
orous. 

Our  diploma  therefore  stands  for  recognized 
achievement  and  admits  our  graduates  to  post-graduate 
courses  of  the  largest  universities  of  this  country  and 
Europe  without  examination. 

The  work  done  in  science  receives  full  recognition 
at  Rush  Medical  College  and  other  similar  institu- 
tions. 

Our  graduates  are  sought  after  as  teachers  in  High 
Schools,  and  principals  of  schools. 


MUSEUM  SPECIMEN— BEAVER 


6.  BECAUSE  of  the  splendid  record 
of  our  Alumni.  A larger  percent  of  our 
graduates  enter  the  learned  professions  than 
of  other  colleges. 

The  following  is  the  record  of  the  last  200  stu- 
dents graduated: 


Teachers  in  public  schools,  high  schools  and 

colleges  ....  58 

Clergymen  . . . . . . 57 

Post-graduate  students  at  present  . . .16 

Missionaries  in  Foreign  Countries  . . 10 

Doctors  .......  8 

Lawyers  ......  7 

In  Commercial  Pursuits  ....  6 

Y.  M.  and  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Secretaries  . 3 

Editors  .......  2 

Graduate  Nurse  .....  1 

Married  (former  Lady-students)  . . .21 

Unclassified  ......  7 

Died  ........  4 

Total  . . . 200 


WINNERS  IN  ORATORY  AND  DEBATE 

7.  BECAUSE  of  our  record  in  inter- 
collegiate competition.  Wherever  our 
students  enter  into  intercollegiate  contests, 
they  acquit  themselves  creditably. 

We  have  had  seven  joint  debates  with  students  of 
Ripon  College,  Wheaton  College,  Lombard  College, 
Milliken  University  and  Illinois  Wesleyan  University 
and  have  won  six. 

We  have  entered  seven  oratorical  contests  of  the 
Northern  Illinois  Oratorical  League.  We  won  first 
place  four  times  and  second  place  three  times,  by  far 
the  best  record  made  by  any  college  in  the  league. 

Our  athletic  record  is  equally  good.  Our  basket- 
ball team  was  undefeatet  on  the  home  floor  for  the 
last  two  years,  although  they  met  and  defeated  some 
of  the  strongest  teams  in  or  about  Chicago. 

Our  track  team  won  out  in  all  the  track  meets 
entered  last  year. 

Baseball  victories  are  numerous.  Tennis  courts 
are  maintained  in  sufficient  number. 


COLLEGE  CHAPEL 

8.  BECAUSE  of  the  Christian  atmos- 
phere of  the  College.  Robert  E.  Speer 
said  of  North-Western  College:  “I  have 
known  North-Western  College  for  the  last 
nineteen  years,  and  I know  of  no  school 
where  deeper  spirituality  prevails.  The 
spiritual  atmosphere  of  your  institution  tends 
to  the  development  of  the  very  best  kind  of 
character,  the  kind  of  character  so  much  in 
demand  in  this  age.” 

9.  BECAUSE  of  its  location . Naper- 
ville, 111.,  is  a beautiful  suburb  of  Chicago 
and  has  4000  inhabitats. 

We  have  all  the  conveniences  of  modern  cities. 

We  have  all  the  advantages  of  the  metropolis  of 
the  Middle  West  within  reach,  yet  are  afflicted  with 
none  of  its  disadvantages. 

Naperville  is  an  ideal  college  town. 


COMMERCIAL  DEPARTMENT 


1 0.  BECAUSE  expenses  are  moderate 
and  opportunities  for  self-help  are  numerous. 

Scholarships  entitle  the  holders  to  instruction  in 
all  literary  departments  of  the  college.  An  additional 
incideneal  fee  of  $ 1 2 per  semester  is  charged.  Labor- 
atory fees  are  reasonable. 

Rooms  can  be  rented  at  rates  ranging  from  $8  to 
$12  per  term  for  each  student. 

Board  can  be  had  at  boarding  clubs  at  a cost  of 
$2.25  to  $2.50  per  week. 

The  total  expenses  per  semester  will  range  from 
$ 1 00  to  $ 1 50  according  to  the  personal  habits  of  the 
student. 

THEREFORE, 


WOULD  you  prepare  for  the  learned  professions. 
DO  you  crave  higher  culture  as  a good  in  itself. 
WOULD  you  study  Art,  Music,  or  pursue  a Com- 
mercial Course  with  all  the  advantages  of  college 
surroundings, 


COME  TO  NORTH  - WESTERN
